hiding attachments and comments for non-Authors
Hello,
Situation: I am asked to advise a management team and it's assistants about sharing Calendars. I have successfully answered all their questions but one issue remains. The managers want their own assistants to have Editor rights but all other assistants to only have Reviewer rights. This can easily be done, but the managers don't want the other assistants to be able to read the attachments nor text in the comment field (large field at lower half [in case the term Comment field is incorrect - I have to translate from Dutch]) of appointment form). As everybody should be able to see where and what an appointment is about, the option of marking it as private is not an issue. I know that there is no standard option for this, it is either not share, share and read the attachments, or use the Private status but then too hide the subject of the appointment. Question: I think I should be able to programmatically hide the comments field (and so the attachments) in the Appointment-form for those who have less than Author rights. How do I read these Outlook permissions in VBA? Or is there an other way to accomplish what they want? Thanks for any help or advise. BartH

I think you should wait for Exchange 2007, which will provide the level of privacy you want. No matter what you do with the form, any Reviewer can still get almost all the information from the item in a table view.

Thank you Sue, I'll bring the news to the customer carefully - they
will not be amused. Good point you brought up - the table view... Nevertheless, can I read the permissions in VBA? (And how, if so...)

You can read permissions with CDO or Redemption. Outlook 2007 is the first version that can read folder permissions using its own object model.
